While Pride Month shines a light on diversity and inclusion, a common sight is companies sporting rainbow logos and limited-edition merchandise. This practice, known as "rainbow washing" or "pinkwashing," can have unintended consequences. Initially, widespread corporate support can feel validating for LGBTQ+ individuals. However, the realization that much of this support lacks substance can lead to feelings of betrayal, cynicism, and disappointment. Here's how we promote authenticity: 🌈 Look beyond the rainbow and assess companies' LGBTQ+ rights contributions 🌈 Encourage companies to be transparent about their efforts to create an inclusive workplace. 🌈 Advocate for resources flowing directly to LGBTQ+ organizations. Remember to support LGBTQ+ creators, donate to charities, and hold companies accountable always and not just during #Pride!

In marketing, we have something called seasonal content, but should all relevant events be categorized as "seasonal content"? 🌈 As a marketer who champions inclusivity, I've grown weary of seeing Pride reduced to a marketing ploy. 🏳️🌈 This Pride Month, let's go beyond superficial gestures. Don't use this significant time if your commitment to LGBTQ+ rights isn't genuine and consistent year-round. 🌟 It's about making real changes in our companies and communities, ensuring inclusivity every day, not just in June. 🌈 Let's use this month as an opportunity for genuine advocacy and impactful actions. Together, we can build workplaces and communities where everyone feels valued and respected. #pridemonth #marketing #realsupport

Reacting to 2023’s backlashes and boycotts, some brands have avoided Pride 2024 despite a clear commercial and moral imperative: globally, LGBTQ+ spending power rose by 20.5% between 2019 and 2023. But others are winning fans by digging in, surfacing hidden histories, creating sanctuaries, centring family (biological and chosen) and taking an educative role.

Pride month is around the corner... Are you at risk for rainbow washing? Each year during Pride, companies modify their logo and merch with rainbow colours and images to demonstrate their support for the LGBTQ+ community. But are some of them just monetizing the rainbow? You might be familiar with green or blue washing, but another emerging issue in the ESG-universe to be aware of is rainbow washing—using rainbows in advertising or branding to indicate support for the LGBTQ+ community, but without providing that same support and advocacy for this marginalized group throughout the rest of the year. Our CEO and Founder Ivy (Ivanna) Lumia had a chance to sit down with the legendary Rob Smith to discuss the critical importance of an organization’s governance of LGBTQ+ matters and what Boards can do to mitigate the risk of rainbow washing. Read more about their conversation and the issue of rainbow washing on the BIG blog: https://lnkd.in/gaQ64XiR #PrideMonth #Governance #SustainableGovernance #Boards

KOSA IS ABOUT DESIGN AND PROGRAMMING, not content. This is worth repeating. If the organizations focused on LGBTQ+ rights have withdrawn their opposition to KOSA and what remains are Big Tech, influencers, and others, then the issue is not LGBTQ+ rights. Big Tech exploits vulnerable communities. This is not even a question at this point. Now it is hiding behind one of the vulnerable communities it exploits. #NoMore #NoChildLostToSocialMedia #PassKOSA #PassKOSPA

It’s Pride month. Let the pride washing commence. Companies that have never spoken about, shared, took a stance on, or took action on LGBTQ+ rights will now be donning the old rainbow flag to cash in on pride month, and tick a diversity box. Even companies that support politicians and parties with poor LGBTQ+ records will throw on a rainbow to get in on the action. We see you. We don’t need “awareness”, everyone’s heard of us. We need action. Here’s an easy win - start publishing how much of your pride month profits you’re donating. #lgbtq #pride #pridewashing

As a Relationship Manager at Workplace Pride, Robert Corvers takes great pride in the work he does for our members and his community. Recently, Robert had the privilege to share his personal story and expertise on LGBTIQ+ inclusion in the workplace during a panel discussion at Squire Patton Boggs. 📽 You can view the video below. This opportunity was not just important; it was necessary. Globally, we are witnessing the resurgence of anti-gay laws in countries like Ghana, Russia, and even the US. Unfortunately, this often translates into increased discrimination and microaggressions against the LGBTIQ+ community. It is crucial for employers to not only acknowledge this issue but also take action. Prioritising inclusion aligns seamlessly with business objectives. It fosters a win-win situation – not only do satisfied employees result, but it also contributes to higher profits in the long run. #WorkplacePride #LGBTHistoryMonth #InclusiveWorkplace #LGBTIQ
As we reflect on this recent LGBTQ+ event filled with passionate, open and honest discussions, with actionable commitments for progress, we look forward to continuing these important conversations - ensuring our firm will always be a place where everyone feels valued and respected. Huge thanks to the incredibly inspiring panel, who empowered the audience with their dedication to supporting the LGBTQ+ community. Be the first to hear about our future events by following #inclusivelaw. #LGBTHistoryMonth | #InclusiveWorkplace | #LGBTQ Charlotte B. | Lori Meakin | Adam Law | Robert Corvers | Harry Walton | Carlton Daniel | Matthew Flanagan-Roberts | Alana Cowan

Hey Marketers, It's Pride Month, but ditch the rainbow washing! This year, focus on REAL connections with the LGBTQ+ community. Ditch the fluff, deliver value. Pride merch is cool, but what about creating a valuable resource for the LGBTQ+ community? Think Skittles- it shows you understand their needs. Partner with LGBTQ+ creators. Let the community own the narrative. Amplify their voices and showcase their talent. True advocacy is about empowering others, not just tooting your own horn. Pride is year-round. Don't be a one-month wonder. Integrate LGBTQ+ support into your brand like MAC Cosmetics. Real allyship is a long-term commitment. #PrideMonth #LGBTQ+Ally #AuthenticMarketing
